Compilation failed

[Artiom-M]

Just installed and generated CMake for CodeLite. First issue it that in CodeLite project file make is called with -j 0 switch.... may be not your project issue. If I fix it it starts to compile then fails in the middle with an error: error: 'wcslen' was not declared in this scope Full message (I tried from the command line, the result is the same as in GUI:

I'm not familiar with CodeLite. This looks like a problem upstream with assimp, likely needs a #include <string> in Assimp.cpp. You can try modifying it locally and submitting a patch to them if that fixes your problem?

[Artiom-M]

So for CodeLite it is a bug in Cmake generator : https://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=15054

#include <string>: it have to be the first includebefore all others in Assimp.cpp in order to fix the issue. Now I have another one, still in Assimp:

Good to know about CodeLite.

I don't know anything about the compilation problem though. I'd suggest you open an issue in their project.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

[Artiom-M]

Do you know an Assimp version which was successfully compiled by Mingw32 ?

[Polytonic]

Unfortunately, no. I don't use MinGW and haven't used it for several years now, so support for it from me will be ... spotty to say the least.

[Polytonic]

I took another quick look at this. It looks like ::strncasecmp() is UNIX-only and that section of code needs to be wrapped in say, #ifdef WIN32 or similar. If you haven't already, I'd suggest opening an issue over with the Assimp project.

Is there anything else I can help you with? If not, may I close this ticket?

[Artiom-M]

Thank you for your help. I will open an issue with Assimp, so you
can close the ticket
